Charming Timur - So Far, So Good

Roel de Haan : What to make of this Charming Timur release? A compilation no less. It carries the title ‘So Far, So Good’ and features material from the various self-released albums of this Finnish one-man outfit. Charming Timur’s music could be described as schizophrenic, chaotic, eclectic and experimental. Sometimes hinting at new wave then abruptly changing to nu-metal or black metal, noisy, electronics, or whatever comes into the makers mind at that particular point in time. The production values of the recordings are unfortunately sub par and I suspect this does affect the overall enjoyability quite a bit. Charming Timur’s music is way too weird for tastes, but for pretentious hipsters this is pretty much perfect.
